The weekend quarantine was in effect for three weeks.
Head of the Ukrainian State Food Safety and Consumer Protection Service's Main Department in the city of Kyiv Oleh Ruban says the weekend quarantine has produced no effective result in fighting the spread of COVID-19 in the capital city.
According to the official, the weekend quarantine was introduced as one of the alternative methods for reducing social activity.
"As of today, it has not shown its effectiveness and feasibility under these conditions. [Weekend] quarantine measures have produced no results. From an epidemiological point of view. Perhaps, there are some other [results]," Ruban told the RBC Ukraine news agency.

"Today we are seeing a rapid increase in the incidence across Ukraine, in the region [Kyiv]. Therefore, it is ineffective. And there are no such indicators confirming its effectiveness," Ruban said.
